Prepare the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped shrimp and ground chicken. Add the minced garlic, seasoning, sesame oil, and tapioca flour. Mix well until the mixture becomes smooth and cohesive. -
Assemble the Dim Sum:
Place a spoonful of the prepared filling onto the center of each dumpling wrapper. Shape the dumpling according to your preference, either folding into a traditional pleated shape or sealing the edges to form a simple pouch. Top each dumpling with a small amount of grated carrot for added texture and flavor. -
Steam the Dumplings:
Arrange the prepared dumplings in a single layer in a steamer basket, making sure they are not touching to avoid sticking. Steam over boiling water for about 20 minutes, or until the dumplings are fully cooked and the filling is hot. -
Serve:
Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer and transfer them to a serving plate. Enjoy your freshly steamed dim sum as an appetizer or main course.
